Mt. Fitzherbert

Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that any ash clouds rising above the crater rim today would drift northeastward early in the day to more eastwardly later in the day.

Recent observations: Variable clouds around the volcano offer occasional glimpses into the crater from remote cameras and which show no unusual activity. A M6.2 regional earthquake in the western Aleutians of Alaska at 12:41:56 UTC or 5:41 a.m. PDT is clearly seen on the PNSN webicorders. Deformation rates and seismic levels at Mount St. Helens remain very low and the character of the eruption remains unchanged.
